December 2019 Population Analysis Committee Recommendations - Final Board Action

What Happens to a School Site After a Closure?1. Site Evaluation Process:

ü GSD will determine the best use of the site moving forward.

ü This evaluation process may take months or even years because every site and situation is unique.

2. Proper Maintenance of Site:ü Granite is committed to properly maintaining the building and green space. It

will not become an eyesore or nuisance.

3. Sale or Lease:ü If a decision is made by the Granite Board of Education to surplus the property,

then by state law, the municipality in which the school resides is given the opportunity to acquire the property. The municipality has 180 days to negotiate.

ü If the municipality has no interest, then the property would go on the open market and GSD would solicit market rate offers based upon appraised values.

Site Comparison

Why disrupt 30% more students and move them to a building with a significantly lower FCI score?

Population Analysis Committee Considerations

! Creating Boundaries for New South Kearns Elementary

! Avoid School Boundaries Straddling Bangerter When Possible

! Small School Concerns

Small School Concerns(Schools with less than three teachers per grade)

Include, but not limited to …" Split grade-level classrooms

" Lack of parental choice to match learning style and increase student success

" PLC and Granite Way processes are much less effective, or even non-existent

" Difficult to team-teach

" Reduced per-pupil funding can create lack of funds for extra staffing and program supports

" Harder to maintain effective SCC’s, PTA’s and other parent volunteer efforts because there are simply fewer parents to draw from

" Teacher work-load concerns – fewer teachers and staff to fill the same number of committee assignments required for all schools

" One ineffective classroom can greatly impact school or grade-level data

" Not an efficient use of administrator-to-student-and-teacher ratios (e.g., one principal for a school of 275 students or one principal for a school of 600 students?)

" Not a fiscally responsible use of building and district resources
